This is an excellent article for parents who are looking for ways to stop their teen from dangerous driving habits. One problem a lot of parents have is sticking to the punishments they verbally threatened. A way to prevent this is to put all decisions, and agreement in writing and have both the parent and teen sign in. Most adults have a hard time going back on something they signed their name to. You can find outlines of parent-teen driving "contracts" at http://allstateteendriver.com or you could just make your own. There is also a very intense graphic PSA out there now about texting and driving. I'm not sure what it's called... but if you search for PSA texting and driving graphic, it is the first thing to com up. It's sweeping the nation and a lot of parents are using it to help deter their teen from texting and driving. I agree!

It offers many parents straight-forward parenting advice for how to manage the phone access their children have. The problem also lies outside of the teen-age and among adults as well who do decide regularly, even if it's just for a sec, to continue to text and email while driving. As we continue to advance in technology and and fuel the need for perpetual communication, another alternative should be considered. Threza,
